| Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | "SARASUWA POND", A JAPANESE WOODBLOCK BY ARTIST HIROSHI YOSHIDA. The actual print measures about 10 x 15 inches while the outside dimensions of the bamboo frame are 14 x 18 inches. The title, signature and other markings on the print are shown above and below. On the reverse of this long ago framed under glass print is the label of the Tokyo company which framed the piece. Beautiful colors. |
Note: the Takemura distributer seal on the verso dates this print to circa <=1940. It is most likely the Takemura's premises was totally destroyed in the Allied firebombing of Yokohama toward the end of the war.

Thursday, 22 January 2009 Lovely Japanese woodblock print by Hiroshi Yoshida. Signed and titled Sarusawa Pond in pencil. Seal marks and jizuri seal. Very faint mat burn on back and slight evidence in margins. Nice color but I would assume it is slightly faded. Sightsize 9 1/2 X 14 1/2. |
